David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)@alexr @encthenet In the early 2000s, Maxtor were the absolute worst. Their drives came with fairly short warranties and they invariably failed within a few months of the end. They were the reason I was never worried by the small number of rewrite cycles on early SSDs: even the lower-bound estimates for lifetime were longer than I ever got from a Maxtor disk.
In 2006, they were purchased by Seagate.
